Keychain History

Why doesn’t keychain retain old password history?

its a great functionality but some sites reject the passwords after you’ve already updated your password and then you you have to endure the whole reset pain.

besides time machine is there any other way to see the keychain history

how to recover a previous web site password in Keychain? A web site requested I change my password. In the process, Keychain suggested a new password that did not fit the requirements of the site. But I did not notice this until I had Hit accept. So now the only Keychain password listed for that site is the one that will not work. The original password is still active for that web site but I no longer have it, because it was one generated earlier by Keychain. If I can access the previous password for this web site that was stored in Keychain, it will allow me to change the password on the site. So how do I access a previous password for a web site in Keychain? I am not asking about a password for Keychain, I am asking for previous passwords stored in Keychain.

The Keychain Access app does allow you to export archived keychains, but it would not be an automatic feature. If you believe it should be, you can let Apple know here: Product Feedback - Apple
